About The Arcade

The Arcade is Australia's first not-for-profit, collaborative workspace created specifically for game developers and creative companies using game methodologies and technologies.

Established in September 2013, The Arcade has come to epitomise the value of a collaborative work environment in which knowledge is shared freely and residents have a genuine care for those around them.

The Arcade provides SME accommodation at arguably one of the best prices in the Melbourne. It's a not for profit space! We can do that.

The Arcade also offers meeting rooms, wifi access, full kitchen facilities (including 3 group head coffee machine) and a communal lunch area for residents.

Most importantly, The Arcade is home to some of the nicest and most talented people you're ever likely to meet.
